Another mistranslation - Page 5 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

HerenIstarion · 03-16-2002, 11:15 AM

nay, it's not connected to the movie. Mishearing like if someone with bad pronounciation was reading the book aloud.

HerenIstarion · 03-25-2002, 12:09 AM

any other suggestions? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Aparently not George. Can you tell us what book it is in?

HerenIstarion · 03-27-2002, 04:18 AM

near the end of FotR [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Nuranar · 04-04-2002, 07:59 PM

HerenIstarion,

I certainly give up. Can you tell us the real version of your quote?

HerenIstarion · 04-05-2002, 03:14 AM

well, I pointed it was rather like mishearing, than mistranslation. Actually that's Gandalf describung Walls of Moria:

Quote:

And there the Gate stood once upon a time, the Elven Door at the end of the road from Hollin by which we have come

I will provide you with new one ASAP

I haven't met him, yet gossip runs through Ironhell that he still denies the Black Enemy, and is under threat as well as all his relatives

Bruce MacCulloch · 04-07-2002, 03:03 PM

Gwindor to Túrin regarding Húrin:

Quote:

I have not seen him, but rumour of him runs through Angband that he still defies Morgoth; and Morgoth has laid a curse upon him and all his kin.

HerenIstarion · 04-27-2002, 04:04 AM

Yes, Bruce, you got it. proceed

HerenIstarion · 06-14-2002, 04:26 AM

Bruce?

burrahobbit · 06-20-2002, 07:53 PM

Hi Heren!!! I'm going instead of bruce.

Mat_Heathertoes · 06-23-2002, 10:34 AM

Gandalf to Frodo discussing the effect of the one ring on Bilbo.

Quote:

'But as for his long life, Bilbo never connected it with the ring at all. He took all the credit for that to himself, and he was very proud of it. Though he was getting restless and uneasy. Thin and stretched he said. A sign that the ring was getting control.'

Chapter 2 - The Shadow of the Past

burrahobbit · 06-23-2002, 12:11 PM

Quite quite.

HerenIstarion · 08-19-2002, 12:19 AM

k, I'll go instead of Mat than:

Quote:

Well good morning! Nearly no time to miss him. That’s ******, let him crack. And I was stupid enough to think we fooled him around climbing down from that hillock. Just look at him, he looks spider allright.

burrahobbit · 08-19-2002, 12:28 AM

Quote:

And to think that I thought we'd puzzle him with our bit of a climb! Look at him! Like a nasty crawling spider on a wall.

That?

ASIDE: I started this thread more than two years ago. That it is still going amazes and delights me. I am tempted to revive one or two others of those games that we played so long ago.

HerenIstarion · 08-19-2002, 12:50 AM

the reason being they are funnier than simply "who said this" type. your answer is correct, go ahead [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

burrahobbit · 08-19-2002, 01:19 AM

Quote:

Now am coming at me and taste the fresh wine that has just am coming at. I shall be drastic at work this night clearance the cellar about the clean out forest , so allow ourselves have a drink first at help the labour.

ENGLISH -> FRENCH -> ENGLISH

I bet it would have been even better if I had used Bulgarian like I had wanted to. InterTran worked fine going from English to Bulgarian, but wouldn't work at all from Bulgarian to English. Queer indeed. What do you use, HerenIstarion?

HerenIstarion · 08-19-2002, 01:41 AM

me brain [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

that's Galion the Butler:

Quote:

"Now come with me, and taste the new wine that has just come in. I shall be hard at work tonight clearing the cellars of the empty wood, so let us have a drink first to help the labour."

burrahobbit · 08-19-2002, 09:33 AM

Quite correct.

HerenIstarion · 08-20-2002, 12:14 AM

so, next one is:

Quote:

Well than, I’ll tell you. I’ll even chant it to you. There is no time for details, of course, got to be short – it’s late already, and we have a council tomorrow, great talk to be held, and, maybe even start a journey.

burrahobbit · 08-23-2002, 09:50 AM

HerenIstarion · 08-28-2002, 04:19 AM

yeah, that's it. proceed [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

HerenIstarion · 09-02-2002, 01:06 AM

burra?

burrahobbit · 09-02-2002, 01:19 AM

I'm fully aware that it's my turn, I just forgot is all.

Gollum talking about the lembas?

Indeed.

Gandalf to Gimly:

'Indeed I am Saruman, one might almost say, Saruman as he should have been.

[ September 04, 2002: Message edited by: HerenIstarion ]

Nevtalathiel · 09-04-2002, 10:55 AM

Correct.

HerenIstarion · 09-05-2002, 12:37 AM

well then:

Quote:

For truly it is! Salvation comes from where our death awaits, and doom is hanging on a string. Yet there is a hope still, only we have to stand firm for a while

Bruce MacCulloch · 09-07-2002, 11:45 PM

Gandalf to Théoden after helping him to throw off Gríma's influence:

Quote:

Verily, ... that way lies our hope, where sits our greatest fear. Doom hangs still on a thread. Yet hope there is still, if we can but stand unconquered for a little while.

(Yes, be very afraid. The Bruce is back.)

HerenIstarion · 09-12-2002, 12:16 AM

*trembling in fear

yeah, thou omniscient one, thy answer be true

Bruce MacCulloch · 09-12-2002, 10:12 PM

Omniscient ... I like that!

Well, here's my quote:

Quote:

Nearly I thought it that I have, in order to estimate the place.

HerenIstarion · 09-13-2002, 03:34 AM

Pippin to Merry in Fangorn?

Quote:

I almost felt I liked the place.

Bruce MacCulloch · 09-13-2002, 10:43 PM

That would be correct, H-I.

HerenIstarion · 09-14-2002, 04:17 AM

aye. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] next one:

Quote:

Don’t get startled! Let me tell you what I know, give you good advice. Yet I shall be expecting gratitude

HerenIstarion · 09-18-2002, 06:09 AM

Need a hint?

Joy · 09-23-2002, 07:51 PM

Quote:

Don’t get startled! Let me tell you what I know, give you good advice. Yet I shall be expecting gratitude.

The answer is

Quote:

Strider: Don't be alarmed! I mean just this: I will tell you what I know and give you some good advice - but I shall want a reward.

This is from "Strider" FotR
